    [​IMG]
    (The family, the EeePC goes in the guitar case front)
    [​IMG]
    (Generic laptop bag that i picked up for serious stuff like meetings, the laptop is more squashed in here than Borat in his Mankini, infact i don't think the X22 fits in here at all)
    [​IMG]
    (Bag for school etc, has a nice air padded back, appears to be a brand called 'Tech Air')

    A bit of a snug fit, but takes the weight of the laptop easily.

    Now that is a snazzy looking bag, tuηay. I like how the green and the red go well together. You should buy a good shoulder pad to take some of the weight off.

    My portage is in my sig.

    I'm also having another bag made which will be the fully laptop-specific replacement to the Valextra. Carbon endoskeleton, titanium hardware and leather outer.

    And in the absence of a premium 17-inch friendly bag I like, I'm considering going fully custom for that as well. I have a design in mind - a slightly curled hard messenger case which would do double-duty as a backpack when turned 90 degrees. I'll have to hit up our CNC machines with some foam to see how practical that would be. Failing that, I might opt for a custom carbon/ti/leather 17-inch shoulder bag which can be worn across the body.

    My LowePro bag was featured in the laptop travel guide:

    [​IMG]

    It will soon be another year older but I've yet to see anything more suitable for my needs. It can hold a 14" notebook, a load of other bits and pieces and there's a pocket for the paperwork on the back. It easily fits under a plane seat so the water bottle is to hand.

    I really like this bag, it has an expandable pocket that works as a mini suitcase and is perfect for carrying around my xbox, all its accessories, and my laptop when I travel to a friends.

    Guess I should have posted pics.

    The three bags I use most. Clockwise from top: Hardigg IM2370, Axio Urban, Swaine Adeney Brigg Paternoster.

    [​IMG]


    The Hardigg for harsher environments. I have several, outfitted with slightly different interiors so I don't have to keep rearranging foam. This one is arranged to fit the SZ, Z, TT and Crapbook 13.

    http://www.stormcase.com/StormCaseSizes/StormiM2370.htm

    [​IMG]


    The Urban is supposed to be a 17-inch backpack, but it barely accommodates the thinnest 17-incher out there as you can see and it has a few faults such as the zip of the inside-front compartment marking an MBP's soft metal if you don't do what I've done in the pic. Nevertheless, it's not a bad backpack if I don't want lots of stuff dangling from my shoulders yet not be stuck with some strap-festooned piece of tat.

    http://www.axio-usa.com/urban_carbon.html

    [​IMG]


    The Paternoster is my general daily carry. It's a traditional document-style case with a centre laptop compartment, shown here underoccupied by a Crapbook Air. On the heavy side for a bag, but it's classy and dress-neutral.

    I love the Swaine Adeney Brigg shop! I keep meaning to go down there to get a custom umbrella made up but then I spend my paycheck on something else. The Paternoster looks very good but it needs a few years use to bring out the character.

    I've been going minimalist lately and just carrying the small Tumi Messenger in Digi Camo. I love the pattern and the bag is really well made. Perfect for a paperback and small digi cam and it's slim so it doesn't cause a ruckus on a crowded tube.

    After much searching, ended up with the Timbuk2 Commute 2.0 L for my notebook.

    Even then, it's still a pretty tight fit - I'd say, it's very snug even.

    Extremely jealous of vogelbung :)

    I love their customization options. Ordered a sleeve case from them, much nicer than your typical neoprene sleeves.

    Do they customize the entire umbrella or just shave down the tip? Their umbrellas are a bit on the large size, imo, and the prices keep going up :( Here's my travel umbrella, not really worth what they're charging.

    I do not like it at all. I think it feels cheap. It squeeks, it cringes. IMO if I was to drop it, my laptop sure would get some damage. I payed around 50 AU bucks for it, and I think thats 50 bucks too much... However, it does hold all of my accessories pretty well. I am though, looking at getting a Dell case.
